On the other side, people in the comment stream defended the woman’s action saying that the gas station does not have a public restroom and wondered if the woman had a medical issue that forced her to have to use the parking lot to defecate.

The full statement read, “Our department is requesting assistance identifying the female in the below pictures from the BP gas station on Scenery Drive (route 48) for questioning. In the first photo she is receiving tissues from her vehicle passenger. In the second photo she is walking to the side of the building where she allegedly defecated in the parking lot. Please contact Elizabeth Township Officer Novacek with any information. Some are defending her behavior in the comments due to the BP no longer has a public restroom and the possibility that she may have a medical issue. To further explain... This store no longer has a public restroom due to people intentionally clogging the toilet and causing other damage. Furthermore, she bragged to the employees about committing the act and mocked them for now having to clean up after her.”
